Bhubaneswar, Feb. 28 -- In a dramatic escalation, Israel and the United States have launched a joint preemptive strike on Tehran, targeting multiple locations in the Iranian capital.

Among the sites hit are areas near the offices of Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, who was reportedly moved to a secure location outside the city.

Massive blasts were reported across Doha, Qatar, while Kuwait also experienced explosions amid the escalating conflict.
